following information is courtesy Ian
Claxton, who also enhanced and sent the
photograph showing ERA Jackson holding
Roma, the oldest of his two daughters,
not long before his death. "Both
daughters are still alive, the younger
is my customer, and lives in
Christchurch UK. The remains of both men
were interred in the military cemetery
in Gibraltar but reports to the family
said that 'the torpedo fell across
Jackson before exploding and that Chief
Stoker Burt was blown to "smithereens"'.
It is suspected Jackson's fate was the
same but the authorities declined to
elaborate further. The family have
inquired about the actual location of a
grave but have been told it has been
'lost' and only a 'plot' location is
available." If you have any further
information on the explosion, please
